anybody know if dime sized cracks on your windshield can be fixed without replacing the whole windshield? my friend who works at a body shop claims that its possible. anybody know for sure or have experience?

 

dime size would be highly unlikely. check your insurance policy to see if it covers windshield replacement. some will replace it if "impairs" your ability to drive safely. i have gotten cracks repaired before but never dime size. they were more like pepper size.

 

On my old Eclipse GST, my insurance company paid to have an approximate dime-sized crack/chip filled-in and glazed over by one of those windshield companies. I couldn't even tell where they repaired it when they were done.

I would check with your insurance company like the previous poster said; however, I know they repaired my dime-sized crack with no problems.

 

yea... i just called my insurance company... they said they would be able to fix it with no deductible charge! thanks... this website is such a great idea!

 

sorry but one more questions... my insurance company said that they would be able to send someone out to fix it... so they are gonna send the person to my house and they can fix it, rite then and there?

 

I got excited when I saw the title, too bad you're all talking about windshields... The other two options would've been more interesting. :p

Mike Smeezy,

 

Yes, right on the spot. It will be someone from a windshield repair place. They'll probably try to fill it in and glaze it over first. This should do the trick. If not, then they'll probably need to reschedule to replace the front shield which they can do on the spot as well. Unless they have already determined to replace the front glass - if that's the case, he'll bring your new front with him.
